WOW, Jamie...I know the pain of broken ribs...I once had an undiagnosed cough for 6 months...
I coughed so hard 24/7 that eventually I coughed hard enough to crack my ribs, AND I still had the cough...
Very, very painful...
I hope you feel better soon, buddy...
My sons took Tae Kwon Do when they were younger and they had to take tests to break wooden boards to advance for every new belt...
Sometimes it involved breaking the board with their hand, other times with their feet...
Well, one time the Master decided it would be fun for the parents to hold the board while the kids did a "flying kick"...
My son came charging at me in a full run as I was nervously holding the board...
He missed the board and kicked me right in the stomach...OUCH...
I had the wind knocked out of me and it hurt to breathe for quite awhile and had a I had a HUGE bruise on my stomach...
BTW, I think my son was probably 10 at the time...
Do you think our kids were trying to get "revenge"...LOL...
